Story bags are used as a fascinating visuals to captivate the attention of your audience. No one is surprised when you turn the bag inside out, but then when you do it again and again, they are baffled.  The mixture of prints and solids make this bag especially memorable. This story bag is used to illustrate that God, the Divine Creator, made everything, including the people in your class.

 Maybe you’ve heard the dark, tall tale that every living thing simply evolved. The theory of evolution is only someone's idea to explain how the species arrived as it is today. When I really want to know what happened,  I want to talk to someone with a first hand report. The story I am about to tell you today is a first hand report as told to us by someone that was actually on the scene when the world was made. Our storyteller has never told a lie, so you can rest assured the story as recorded in scripture is factual.

 In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. The earth looked very different than it does now. The Bible says the earth was without shape or form. (Wad the bag.) Everything was dark--pitch dark—I mean dark-dark!

 God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light. Then he separated the light from the dark. That was the first day.  

(Turn the bag into to the next color. ) The second day God said, “Let there be a sky in the midst of the waters.” God didn’t have to take his hands and do anything. His word is that powerful. God spoke and it happen exactly as He said.

 (Turn the bag into to the next color.) The third day, God spoke and there was dry land. Then he spoke again and there was grass, and vegetables and fruits, and trees. Each of them contained seeds so they could reproduce themselves.

 (Turn the bag into to the next color. Stars) On the fourth day God said, “Let there be lights in the heavens.” God made the sun, the moon and the stars.

 (Turn the bag into to the next color. ) The fifth day God said, “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that have life, and birds that may fly above the earth.” And it happened exactly as God said. 

(Turn the bag into to the next color. ) On the sixth day God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind.” Just a simple commandment from the mouth of God and all the creatures living on land were made.

 (It would add to the presentation, put a small lump of clay in a plastic bag and put it in the pocket. Be sure you put it there before the presentation. When you remove the clay, leave the plastic in the pocket.) But God didn’t stop creation with the trees, flowers, birds, fish or animals. He had saved the very best for last. I can’t find where God spoke this creation into existence instead He said, “Let us make man in our image.” If I understand the scriptures, God stooped over and scooped up some dirt. Then he shaped and formed it. (Shape and form the clay as you speak.) Then God breathed life into that piece of dirt to form the very first man. God named that first man Adam.

 On the seventh day God rested. God’s creation was complete.

 Now why would I spend all this time telling you a story that happened such a long, long time ago? Because it is very important that you understand that you didn’t just evolve. You are not an accident. You didn’t just happen as part of a random process. God planned you before you were born. God saw you while you were still inside your mother’s body. He loves you and He has a special plan for your life. Without that knowledge your life will no purpose, with that knowledge you know the divine creator loves you and wants to have a friendship with you. That knowledge changes everything.

Now let’s review. Begin with the seventh day and go backward showing each color of the bag.

1. The first day was a burst of light. God divide the light from the darkness.
2. Day two God spoke and made the water and sky so blue.
3. Day three, he made dry land, flowers, plants and even the mightiest tree.
4. Day four, he spoke and the sun, the moon and the stars appeared by the score.
5. Day five, God spoke and birds to fly and fish to splash and dive.
6. Day six, God spoke animals into existence. Man was made from a different mix. God formed him from the dust and breathed life into him.
7. Day seven, God rested. It’s a day to turn your heart toward heaven.
